i am building a new computer with an SSD. the current HDD i have will be my backup drive on the new computer. do i need to uninstall the OS from the HDD before i attempt to install win 7 on my new SSD? how would microsoft know that it is installed on 2 drives (in the same computer)? i kind of want to leave it on the HDD while i install the SSD and build the new computer, in case something goes wrong in the build process and i need to use the HDD with my old computer.
if i have to install it from the the HDD first, how do i do that exactly? i was thinking just restart and boot to the win 7 cd and reformat the drive without actually installing win 7. sorry i have never done this before, thanks for the help.
